: My fiberglass NDK Romany has stood up to much more abuse than any
: of my cedar strip kayaks. I've smashed into rocks in surf that
: would have holed a cedar boat. Back before plastic whitewater
: kayaks were made from glass.

Hi Bryan,
What's the glass schedule of the Romany?

I had a pre-plastic general purpose(?) yak, :) I repaired it quite a few times, it worked even after I snapped it in two. Got heavier over time. For rocky places, plastic.
